I must be in one of those parts in NC where everyone is a crotch watcher. I am asked on a daily basis about my side arm. I did have an odd encounter at a local Hardee's. Several employees were commenting about the ability to OC when the girl (heavy set black woman) taking my order boasted she can OC/CC because " I am Air Force Special Forces". I sighed, and said " here we go again". As an 11yr Army Vet, I encounter this often. Since when did the AF start infiltrating our FF resturaunts with Para Rescue?
over the weekend....OC'ed in Smithfield's BBQ in Knightdale (someone was heavy-handed with the vinegar) and Great Clips in Wake Forest...good times
.... The way I see it once they put the barbers cape on you are no longer open carrying because at that point it is concealed....
I have often wondered about this, whenever I go to my favored barbershop I leave my handgun locked in my car. The way I see it once they put the barbers cape on you are no longer open carrying because at that point it is concealed, much the same as sitting in a car with it holstered. Can anyone elaborate on this?

My wife usually cuts my hair, but on the rare occasions that I have gotten it done at a barber I just let the pistol be covered and never thought twice about it.
Also I drive my truck all the time with the pistol holstered at my waist. Been pulled over a couple of times, no issues.
That is a very good question... I've never thought about it before but I would personally consider the cape covering the gun CCing.. The vehicle thing is different because it is only not visible depending on where the officer is standing, but the cape covering the gun is not visible at all. My sugestion would be to purchase a see through cape and gift it to your barber, or just take it in there for them to use while cutting your hair. Problem solved.

Or, don't worry about it because there is no problem to solve.
It is not completely covered since the LEO could look UP from the floor, if he is *that* curious.

I always take my handgun from my hip and put it on the dashboard when stopped by cops (before they come to my door, of course). It can't be considered concealed on the dashboard.
IMO this is a horrible idea. You basically just admitted to brandishing.
Solus, is NC the same as VA in that OC on the person is OC in the car too? I was under the impression that this was the case. This would further invalidate the claim that it is a good idea to remove your pistol from its holster when pulled over.
